Is Anyone Trying To Bring To Market A Project They Did On element14?

rscasny

Our members do a lot of projects and post them on element14. A lot of them are fun projects or labors-of-love. I am curious to know if anyone is taking it a step further and trying to take something he/she made and create a marketable product?

 

I would be even curious to learn if someone is toying around with the idea, but may not be actively trying to market it.

 

Thanks.

  • A while ago several of us had a idea to support a very popular board.

    The existing products didn't allow for all the pins to be accessible, and were significantly more expensive that the board.

     

    It would have been nice to see someone like element14 and their subsidary company look at it as something to add to their product line, and even the original board manaufacturer thought it was a good idea, but no-one was prepared to step up or engage in a conversation.

     

    Many of these things boil down to ether mass market, kickstarter, right place/right time, or knowing the right people.

     

     

    Sadly there are some people that think they have the million dollar solution, but the business case falls flat, and therfore the funding options go west.

    I don't want to be a millionaire. I don't really want to be a businessman either. Life has enough headaches already. But to be the first to do something is what interests me.

    Same here.

    We thought it would be useful and encourage more use of the boards.

     

    Being first has rewards, but often provides someone else with the ability to ride on your shoulders.
